Interviewed live on ESPN, rapper seems more excited by Detroit Lions football team than his new LP, out in November
With two months to go before Eminem releases his new album, the rapper declared that he can't wait to be finished with it. Speaking in a rare TV interview, Eminem seemed woefully uninterested in his forthcoming record, The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
In a live Q&A, ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit asked Eminem what he was "most excited about with this new album". "Uh, nothing," the MC replied. "It'll be out November 5 … I'll probably be most excited to just be done with it."
It's rare that Eminem agrees to a televised interview, especially a live one. In this case, he began the broadcast by staring glassy-eyed at the cameras. "Live TV freaks me out a little bit," he admitted.
It appears that the 40-year-old agreed to be on camera due to ESPN's sport-centric coverage. He seemed in awe of co-host Brent Musburger, a legendary US football presenter. Eminem came to life when discussing his favourite team, the Detroit Lions, and he revealed that his latest single, Berzerk, will be the new theme song for the popular Saturday Night Football broadcast.
"[The new album] is kind of a revisit to the first Marshall Mathers LP," he said, wearily. "And that's pretty much all I can probably say about it."
The Marshall Mathers LP 2, released 13 years after the seven-times-platinum Marshall Mathers LP, will be released on 5 November.
